If any Arsenal fan was expecting to get any kind of good news from both Everton or Newcastle yesterday and feeling confident after Saturday's 'fun' results, then they were brought back down to earth yesterday, as West Ham overcame an Everton side who with every passing week look more terrible, making our defeat to them [...]
The arrival of yesterday's press conference was a timely reminder that the infernal international break is now behind us and we can fully focus on all things Arsenal and Premier League, which is a-ok with me. Arteta talked about the need to refocus his players after the international break and whilst the team news is [...]
Am super nervous about today, lads and lasses, super nervous indeed. Whereas I accepted the reality and realism of the defeat to Liverpool both prior and post the game itself, this one feels like there's much more pressure on the team, oddly enough. It feels like we need to get something from this game and [...]
The way in which I try to temper my own intensity and nervousness over a football game is usually to start at the lowest base point and work upwards. What I mean by that is that in my head, if I start at the point in which my expectations are that we will lose and [...]
It was always going to be too much to expect Everton to turn up and deliver a performance at the Toilet Bowl against The Scum, but by god, I didn't expect such a pathetic display as they showed. I went for a walk and saw that the Scum had scored their second on 16 minutes [...]

But occasionally, very rarely, I start with the title of the blog and take it from there. Today is such an occasion because after watching Emile [...]
It's match day people! And it is the reverse of the opening game of the season, in which we succumbed to an excitable and motivated Brentford side who took advantage of our mixture of injuries and COVID situation in the Arsenal camp, to overcome us 2-0 in their new stadium. I drove past their stadium [...]
Thursday has come around and we are knocking down the door of the weekend once again. Perhaps it's because my work has been so busy, but these weeks appear to be flying by, which is good considering the lack of football we've had to endure. I think I read somewhere that there won't be a [...]
Well, we all survived the over-commercialised nonsense that is Valentine's Day, so we can get on with our lives and focus on the really important things, like how Arsenal are preparing ahead of facing off against Brentford next weekend. The good news is that it looks like Tomiyasu is back in training and that is [...]
